Orlando Pirates Provide Update on Zakhele Lepasa and Goodman Mosele Ahead of Sekhukhune United Clash
Orlando Pirates have shared encouraging updates on two of their sidelined players, Zakhele Lepasa and Goodman Mosele, as the team gears up for tonight’s DStv Premiership match against Sekhukhune United at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Limpopo.
The Buccaneers are in the midst of a challenging week, with back-to-back away fixtures that include tonight’s clash and a high-stakes encounter against defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday at Loftus Versfeld Stadium. As the team prepares for these critical matches, positive news regarding Lepasa and Mosele has provided a boost to coach Jose Riveiro’s squad.
Zakhele Lepasa, who has been sidelined since the pre-season due to injury, is edging closer to full fitness. The striker has yet to make an appearance this season but is expected to return to action in the coming matches, potentially bolstering Pirates’ attacking options. Lepasa’s recovery comes at a crucial time, as the Buccaneers aim to maintain momentum in both domestic and continental competitions.
Similarly, midfielder Goodman Mosele is nearing availability for selection. The 23-year-old has also been out of action this season but is making steady progress in his recovery. The return of Mosele will provide much-needed depth to Pirates’ midfield as they navigate a busy schedule of fixtures.
Pirates confirmed these updates on their official website, stating, “The Buccaneers meanwhile emerged from the derby with no fresh suspension concerns. On the injury front, a few players are inching closer to a return to action with Goodman Mosele and Zakhele Lepasa among those that could soon feature for the first time this season.”
While the Buccaneers remain focused on tonight’s challenge against Sekhukhune United, fans will be eagerly anticipating the return of Lepasa and Mosele, both of whom are expected to play key roles as the season progresses. Their availability could significantly enhance the team’s prospects in upcoming matches, including the showdown against Sundowns this weekend.
